You must tell us the exact name, number or value of investments you want us tobuy, sell or subscribe for.

5.3 When you ask us to trade investments we will carry out the trade in the currency of the Market on which we trade or in the case of Unit Trusts and OEICs thecurrency defined by the Fund Manager. Where necessary and in order to effectsettlement with you in accordance with clause 6.1, this currency will be convertedto pounds sterling based on the exchange rate from time to time determined by usat the time of execution. Such rates will reflect the prevailing currency market atthe time of conversion. We will give you an indicative exchange rate at the time ofdealing although you should be aware that the actual exchange rate applied to yourtrade may change from the indicative rate provided.

5.4 If we accept instructions inside the dealing period, they will be carried out as soon as reasonably practicable. If we accept them outside the dealing period, we will carry them out as soon as reasonably practicable after the start of the next dealingperiod.

5.6 We may buy, sell or subscribe for investments for you and other clients as part of the same deal. When we do this, we must reasonably believe that the aggregationof orders is unlikely to work to your disadvantage. However, it could result in aslightly less favourable price than if we had bought or sold your investmentsseparately.

5.7 We will carry out each instruction to deal in more than one type of investmentor each instruction to deal at different times in the same type of investment asseparate instructions. Charges will apply separately to each deal.

5.8 (a) Other than where 5.8 (b) applies, when you instruct us to buy, sell or subscribefor investments, you cannot change your mind afterwards.

5.10 When we have accepted your instructions to buy, sell or subscribe for investmentswe may, at our discretion, contact you to confirm your instructions. We will do this if we reasonably believe that it is in your interests to do so. We will not be liable to you if wedo not contact you.

5.11 If, after an order is placed on your behalf on a Market or with a Fund Manager and we are asked by them to cancel any dealings in the relevant stock, we will not be liable for any loss that you incur. In particular, we reserve the right to cancel any duplicate or repeatedinstruction you give to us where the circumstances indicate that the deal has been split intosmaller orders to take advantage of any market limitations or restrictions.

What is Advanced Dealing (TradePlan) and how does it work?

5.12 The following conditions 5.13 to 5.26 explain how TradePlan works. The following definedwords in bold type have special meaning in relation to TradePlan:

Limit order – a TradePlan order that sets a price above which you will not buy or belowwhich you will not sell investments. If the next price in the market is equal to or better thanthe limit price then it will be executed at that price. The order will be triggered at the bestprice in the market for that order size;

When you ask us to place a UK limit order for you it will be accepted on the expresscondition that we will not make the details of such order publicly available.

Limit price – the maximum or minimum price at which you are willing to buy or sell specifiedinvestments;

Price locking – an order comprising of a stop loss order which tracks the price of aninvestment. If the order to sell at your stop loss price is not met during a working day thenthe stop loss price is automatically revised upwards based on the closing price and theparameters you set when placing the order. If the stop loss price is met during a working daythen the order will be executed;

Range trading – a TradePlan order comprising of two limit orders, one to buy investmentsat a limit price, and one to sell those investments at a different limit price;

Stop loss order – an order to sell an investment triggered when the stop price is met orpassed. The order will be executed at the best available price in the market, for that order size.The execution price may be higher than, equal to or lower than the stop price (see 5.19);

Stop price – a price set by you at which you are prepared for an order to be executed;

Target setting – a TradePlan order comprising of a limit order to sell investments at a pricehigher than the current price and a stop loss order to sell investments, if the price falls, at alower price than the current price. If one side of the order is executed then the other will becancelled;

TradePlan – a collective name for target setting, range trading, price locking, stop lossorders and limit orders.

5.13 All orders will be treated as individual orders unless they are inter-related orders underTradePlan. An inter-related order pair is where one side of the TradePlan is contingent on theother, and therefore may be cancelled if the other executes.

5.14 You are able to leave a TradePlan order that will expire at the close of business onany working day in the future, except for limit and stop loss orders that will runfor a maximum of 90 calendar days. The order will run until either expiry, execution,amendment or cancellation by you. We may decide to extend the maximum periodbeyond 90 calendar days, should this be the case, we will publish details on ourwebsite.

5.15 A limit order or stop loss order may be partially executed where the limit price orstop loss price is met. You will not have any right to cancel the part of the orderwhich has been partially filled.

5.16 A TradePlan may be amended or cancelled by you, as long as the order has notbeen carried out or is not in the process of being executed and we accept thecancellation or amendment.

5.17 It is your responsibility to verify whether an order has been carried out and, if it has not, whether you require a new instruction to be placed.

5.18 When we accept your order, we will endeavour to follow your instructions and will generally carry out orders by reference to time of receipt. We do not guaranteethat TradePlan orders will be executed even if a price is met by market conditions.

5.19 TradePlan orders are designed to execute when the price of an investment meets,falls below or rises above a specified price. In the period between the price beingachieved and the execution of the order, the price of the investment may havemoved. This may mean that the order is dealt at a slightly different price to theTradePlan price. In certain market conditions, the price difference could besignificant. In addition, specific events may cause the price of an investment to move to an unusually high or low price, which may cause your order to execute at those prices. Any order executed in these circumstances will be valid and we will not be liable for any resulting loss.

5.20 An order to “Sell All” will result in all investments owned in a security in thataccount being sold. This type of order will take into account any pending order forthe same investment regardless of order type and take into account anywithdrawals or deposits since the original order was placed.

5.21 TradePlan orders can be placed on all UK listed CREST eligible investmentsalthough we can change the range of investments which are available.

TradePlan Risk Warnings

5.22 If your order is outside the normal market size of that investment, we may not deal it. We may try to contact you about your order.

5.23 If you place a TradePlan order and the stock on your account is subsequentlysuspended we reserve the right to cancel or amend that order.

5.24 If you place a TradePlan order and the stock is then subject to a corporate action our standard practice is to execute orders when a price is met, even if the corporate action affects the price either technically, for example through a re-structure or because of market sentiment. However we reserve the right tocancel, amend or otherwise intervene in such orders.

5.25 We reserve the right not to offer a TradePlan or to withdraw the TradePlan facility on certaintypes of accounts.

5.26 We will not be liable for any failure to execute a TradePlan order for technical or operationalreasons, except for negligence on our part.

• from you, where you warrant that you have the right to trade and that no other person has any rights or interests in those investments that prevents you from trading them in line withthese conditions.
